Wow Factor

Taking steps in picking our interview and who we wish to obtain answers from is coming along nicely, we are leaning more towards the dentist rather than the author of the glass castle.  We are sure an interview with a working dentist will give us many factual and proven outcomes of drinking soda and specifically Mountain Dew.  We know that soda is not only bad for the immune system due to its high sugar content, and its carbonation leads to stomach problems later in life, but the effects and toll it has on teeth is tremendous.  We hope see firsthand how bad soda damage to teeth can actually be.  To warn people of the facts, it is always good to have a wow or shock factor to catch people’s attention and make them think twice before picking up a can of that bubbly green goodness we know as Mountain Dew

interview

In continuation of the last post, we would like to interview someone of significance, not just a random person off the street, but someone with knowledge about our specific topic and or area of expertise.  Our goal is to interview the author of the glass castle if possible, which is shooting high, but of course we have a backup plan, which is to interview a dentist.  Hopefully we can contact a dentist in that area, who has seen the affects first hand but any dentist would be fine, considering they should know the adverse affects of drinking soda, especially mountain dew which has the most sugar of them all.  Hopefully he can give us stories we can use to warn people of what can happen, and maybe possibly ideas on how he believes we should get the word out.

Make it Aware

Now they our topic is set in stone and we have dived pretty deep into the research aspect of our topic, which is of course The Mountain Dew Addiction in central Appalachian and the neighboring areas. This seems to be a problem which is centered around, not only Mountain Dew but poor dental care as well. In combination with the two, the affects seen are life altering as the abusers of Mountain Dew have permanent and irreversible tooth decay and tooth loss. Now just like any other kind of addiction, it is the user’s choice, and in this case the product they are addicted to is not illegal so it cannot be banned, but what we can do is let the people know what could and will happen if they continue to consume large amounts of mountain dew.
